On Lok Yun — Restaurant in Wang Burapha Phirom Subdistrict

Repeated visits! Would always make it a point to have a breakfast or brunch here whenever I visit BKK, even tho there are no shortage of toast and coffee places in my country and that I much prefer Singaporean/Malaysian style of kaya and kopi. But come On Lok Yun for the nostalgic, old-school vibe, good service, and affordability (compared to prices of similar dishes back home). The staff and (presumably) the boss were all very friendly, hospitable and attentive - he even made a special dipping sauce (mixture of chili, tomato and Maggi seasoning?) for almost every table!

Service was prompt and food were served quickly upon ordering even when the shop was full-house. Dining premises (there're two-floors) were well-maintained and clean. Best to take public transport as parking can be tricky. And please remember to get a queue number from the staff the moment you arrive and then wait for your number to be called! It can be very busy in the mornings but thankfully the turnover is quite fast so you don't have to wait that long. You can purchase (takeaways) house-brand drip coffees, bread, kaya, jams and traditional-style cakes too!

Some may find the portions small and the food not worthy of the hype... but I guess with every bite is a piece of history and tradition... and if you are still hungry, do explore the streets nearby or around On Lok Yun and support the other local businesses! I stumbled upon (kind of) under-the-radar eateries that serve real good pork trotters rice, braised duck noodles, beef soup and stir-fried chicken rice noodles in...

This restaurant has been serving breakfast since 1933, and it’s still going strong! If you’re a breakfast lover, this spot is a must-try. Open from 6:00 AM to 2:30 PM, they offer both American-style breakfast (think ham, bacon, scrambled eggs, and hotdogs) and classic Thai favorites like steamed bread with kaya (ขนมปังสังขยา) paired with Thai tea.

The food is simple, fast, and absolutely worth every baht. The restaurant has an old-school charm combine both Thai and Chinese, decorated with traditional Buddha status and images, and has earned several food awards like Grab Thumbs Up and Robinhood, along with some Chinese ones I couldn’t read.

I got there around 7:00 AM and snagged the last table on the first floor. The place has two floors, but if you want a cozy morning view, I recommend waiting for a first-floor table.

I tried their 3 recommended dishes: scrambled eggs with 4 toppings, steamed bread with kaya, and dark chocolate toast—plus their signature French toast. Everything was great! My relative loved the hotdogs so much they ordered more. The French toast was more like Thai style fried bread with egg cover (ขนมปังชุบไข่ทอด), not dessert. It is not as sweet as typical French toast, but still tasty!

I also grabbed some kaya bread to take home. The waiter mentioned they bake their bread fresh without preservatives, so you’ll need to refrigerate it if you don’t finish it the same day.

Overall, it’s a fantastic spot to kickstart your morning with great food and a traditional vibe. Highly...

Came across this place on IG and saw it's so Chinese and old-school so decided to come visit and try. I thought I was here early at 830am but was shocked to see the long queue outside the shop. I was already feeling disappointed wondering if I will get the chance to eat and I told myself I would only wait till 9am and if I don't get in, I will just give up. The queue was quite systematic managed by 2 girls, though there were some people who were able to come late and cut queue not sure why. And finally I got my chance to a table slightly past 9am. Had a look at the menu and sort of decided what I wanted to eat. The staff did recommend me to get the eggs plus toppings set but I am not a fan of bacon and sausages so I ordered the toast and soft boiled eggs. Disappointed they didn't offer the French toast that day. For the French toast had the kaya one and the butter and sweeten milk one. The bread was not too bad and it's pretty nostalgic haven't had toast like this for a long time. The kaya is quite good so I do actually recommend that. Also had the iced milk tea and I liked it. It's not on the sweet side and yet maintained the strong tea taste so it's pretty good. The soft boiled eggs came last and it went well with the Maggi sauce which I haven't used it as a seasoning for ages! Overall quite a decent meal in an old school establishment. Be prepared to queue at least 30 minutes or longer during weekends. Pocket friendly...
